I gave it 4/5 stars in comparison to other inexpensive, light weight, beginner benches.
Assembled, the legs are 3' wide, about 5.5' long. (About 18" less if leg lift is removed.) It is priced similar to local retailers but 8 day delivery is handy. It is suitable for beginners weighing up to 200 pounds with an 80 lb weight set, though they say 350 and 150. Heavier people or weights, and you want to look at more expensive units, but this is a reasonably priced entry level set. It usually takes about 6 months to build a habit, then look at the $500 units.
The nuts/bolts are clearly marked but all other assembly is done from tiny drawings. You'll need a hammer (to set feet), an adjustable wrench (hold nuts) and a screw driver (attach bend pads). Assembly time is about an hour, a bit quicker if you have a ratchet set.
The unit is comparable to other low end units at sources like Big 5. It does not take up much floor space and its 40 lb weight makes it easy to move. For storing or moving to a new house, remove 2 screws and it takes up about as much space as a bike.
